Hi Saker,
Please keep replies on the list so everyone can benefit.
I embed the WebObjects frameworks in my project directly so I don't
actually need to install WebObjects on the windows machine at all.
My .war file has everything in it.
The WOServletAdapter not available is a tricky one to diagnose as
several things can cause it.
A lot of the Wiki Tutorials are out of date because the Tools are
evolving so fast. Servlet deployment is something that doesn't get
updated very often because there's not a lot of people out there doing
it.
Probably the best way to start is to get a simple HelloWorld app
running on Tomcat before you try to migrate your existing application
to WOLips/Tomcat.
Do you have the most recent version of Eclipse (3.4.1) and WOLips
(Nightly) now? If not get those, then start Eclipse and create a new
WebObjects Application Project.
Once you have the new project created, you can then right-click on the
project and select "Properties". Click on the WOLips Deployment item
and select "Servlet Deployment" and "Autogenerate web.xml"
You should then be able to right-click again on the project, select
"WOLips Ant Tools" and select Install.
This should create a .war file for you that you can then drop into
Tomcat/webapps and see if it launches for you. The URL that you would
use would be:
http://your.server.com:8080/YourApplicationName/WebObjects/
That should load the "Main" component for you.
Or give you a WOServletAdapter not available error...
Try that and then we'll move forward from there.

Dear David,
Thanks for the great suggestion. As my only requirement is that the
deployment environment must be Windows, developing on WOLips/Mac
should be just fine. I will follow the available instructions to
build on WOLips/Mac.
On the issue of Windows deployment, I could really use your
guidance. Just recently, I tried deploying my application to Win/
Tomcat but it gave me a WOServletAdapter not available error. OSX/
Tomcat/.war is how I normally deploy on OSX, so this was quite
frustrating. The instructions on objectstyle.org for Windows
deployment of an OSX/WO app assume a CD install of WinWO 5.2, which
I don't have. Since you successfully build on OSX/WOLips and deploy
to Win/Tomcat, do you have a set of instructions to assist in the
process?
Ideally, I would love to do as you suggest above, i.e. develop on
OSX and deploy on Win, and any guidance you can provide there would
be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,
Saker Ghani

Why not use use Eclipse on OS X? Most users on the list use WOLips
running on Mac, so you are going to get the most accurate help if
you are running a similar setup. Not that WOLips doesn't work on
Windows, the WOLips developers run on Mac so you can expect WOLips
to be much more stable on Mac.
I develop on Mac and deploy to Tomcat on Windows and it works just
fine (usually...:-).

Hello WebDeploy Masters:
I have a situation where I need to port a OSX/WO application to
Windows. I'm thinking now may be a good time to move to WOLips.
I've downloaded the latest Eclipse toolset and have installed
WOLips. Is there any good set of instructions that can help a
newbie like myself to:
Port my OSX/XCode application to Win/Eclipse/WOLips
Build a .war from within Win/Eclipse/WOLips for deployment in Tomcat
Also, assuming #2 is resolved, will my existing 5.3.3 license work
in the Win/Tomcat deployment?
Advance apologies for the large number of questions. Any and all
help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
SGhani
